Philadelphia, Oct. 6.—The decision Of the individual coal operators to offer a 10 per cent increase in wages to the striking mine workers is regarded the anthracite region as the beginning of the end of the strike. Nearly all the individual operators have made announcement of their willingness to grant the increase, and notices to this effect will, it is expected, be posted at the various independent collieries today. Some have already been posted. It is fully believed that the few operators who have not yet expressed their intention on the subject will fall in line with the others and grant the increase. the Rovte, Children's all wool suprrior quality shirts and drawers from 25c.

She kissed him goodby and seemed more than usually tender in her farewell and told him to be sure to come home early, At 3 o'clock in the afternoon she told her coachman, Curtis Moore, and his wife Mary that the day was so fine they must go out for a drive, as she did not need them. She was tired p.nd would lie down, she said. Half an hour later they returned, but were met at the door by Mrs.'Smith, who waved them away and said that they must stay out longer.

The little boy Andrew was lying in the porch off the kitchen, dead. The anthracite settlement has been delayed another week, and the effect upon business in the east is more apparent, though distribution in the west and south seems no less active. Seasonable weather in the east would quickly aid matters. Prices are slightly lower in iron, wool, coal and sugar, but the produce and textile markets are firm, and in all departments of business an effort by distributers to increase transactions would quickly advance prices. According to some of the operators powder will be sold to the miners at $1.50 per keg instead of $2.75 aB heretofore charged, hut this reduction will be taken into consideration in figuring the net 10 per cent advance.

Philadelphia, Oct. 6.—The executive officers of the Pennsylvania Railroad company have about completed plans for the expenditure of $30,000,000 in improvements and extension of the Long Island railroad. In an interview Captain John P. Green, first vice president of the Pennsylvania railroad, said that when the work is finished Long Island will be the finest summer resort in the world, and nil points of it will be easily accessible. The old management of the Long Island railroad, he said, made no effort to secure summer travel, the train schedules being notoriously slow aud inconvenient. The Long Island railroad has had a charter for a tunnel under a part of Brooklyn and the East river to the center of the down town section of New York city for some time, but no work has been done. Captain Green says that this tunnel will be completed as soon as possible and that passengers will then be tarried from a point south of the city hall to the suburbs of Brooklyn in a few minutes, and through trains will be run from New York to all parts of Long Islaud.

A door of a freight car in a passing train fell off just below the station and landed upon the rails over which the flier would pass within , a few minutes. The conductor of a north hound train saw it, and as his train passed the station he yelled something to Mr. Smith, the station agent, and pointed down the tracks. Smith did not know what the conductor suid, but, realizing something must be wrong, ran with several others down the track and found the heavy door. They had just removed it from the rails when the Empire State dashed by.

Philadelphia, Oct. 6.—The decision Of the individual coal operators to offer a 10 per cent increase in wages to the striking mine workers is regarded the anthracite region as the beginning of the end of the strike. Nearly all the individual operators have made announcement of their willingness to grant the increase, and notices to this effect will, it is expected, be posted at the various independent collieries today. Some have already been posted. It is fully believed that the few operators who have not yet expressed their intention on the subject will fall in line with the others and grant the increase. the Rovte, Children's all wool suprrior quality shirts and drawers from 25c.

They also express the opinion that the object of the recent edicts regarding the degradation of Chinese personages of high rank i§ merely to gain time and to enable China to be in u better position to defy the powers, as the new capital will be virtually inaccessible from the coast. Two locations are available as o starting point, one at Bartlca, at the head of navigation, 50 miles up the Essequlbo river, the other at Georgetown, at the mouth of Demerara river, the capital and commercial center of the country.

Previously they had resided in Lenox avenue near One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street. Yesterday morning Mr. Smith was driven by his Wife to the elevated railroad station at One Hundred and Fiftyfifth street. She kissed him goodby and seemed more than usually tender in her farewell and told him to be sure to come home early, At 3 o'clock in the afternoon she told her coachman, Curtis Moore, and his wife Mary that the day was so fine they must go out for a drive, as she did not need them. She was tired p.nd would lie down, she said. Half an hour later they returned, but were met at the door by Mrs.'Smith, who waved them away and said that they must stay out longer. As soon as they had started away the second time the shooting must have occurred. When they returned, about 4 o'clock, Mary went into the house by the back door. The little boy Andrew was lying in the porch off the kitchen, dead. The anthracite settlement has been delayed another week, and the effect upon business in the east is more apparent, though distribution in the west and south seems no less active. Seasonable weather in the east would quickly aid matters. Prices are slightly lower in iron, wool, coal and sugar, but the produce and textile markets are firm, and in all departments of business an effort by distributers to increase transactions would quickly advance prices. According to some of the operators powder will be sold to the miners at $1.50 per keg instead of $2.75 aB heretofore charged, hut this reduction will be taken into consideration in figuring the net 10 per cent advance.

Three hundred and seventy-five miles of the line would lie in British territory and the rest In Brazil.

No other concessions to the strikers are hinted at, and, in fact, it has been openly declared by some of the officials of the big companies that no further concessions will be granted. -The individual operates delayed announcing their willingnera' to grant the increase pending the report of a committee sent by them to New York to endeavor to secure some concession from the carrying companies. The committee was unsuccessful, and so reported, and the operators, feeling that further opposition to t£e big companies Was useless, decided to follow their lead and grant the advance.The Dally Chronicle publishes the following statement by its Washington correspondent : /resents in the most acceptable form the laxative principles ofp/ants An own to act most beneficially.

Philadelphia, Oct. 6.—The executive officers of the Pennsylvania Railroad company have about completed plans for the expenditure of $30,000,000 in improvements and extension of the Long Island railroad. In an interview Captain John P. Green, first vice president of the Pennsylvania railroad, said that when the work is finished Long Island will be the finest summer resort in the world, and nil points of it will be easily accessible. The old management of the Long Island railroad, he said, made no effort to secure summer travel, the train schedules being notoriously slow aud inconvenient. The Long Island railroad has had a charter for a tunnel under a part of Brooklyn and the East river to the center of the down town section of New York city for some time, but no work has been done. Captain Green says that this tunnel will be completed as soon as possible and that passengers will then be tarried from a point south of the city hall to the suburbs of Brooklyn in a few minutes, and through trains will be run from New York to all parts of Long Islaud.
